NIGHT AND MORNING.

The day brings toll and care and pain,
II brings its loss and leaves its stain
But night shall close the eyes that weep,
And bring new strength and peace with sleep
So night and sleep convert to gain
The loss of good we could not keep.
The task is hard, the day is long,
And night falls on a weary throng;
But WEAKNESS has pleasant dreams,
And life is better than il seems.
The world awakes with rest and song,
And to a sun with brighter beams
And hearts that ache and pine and plead
For something that they ever need,
Shall find good angels in the night,
And walk with them in sweet delight.
Then hearts that ache shall cease to bleed,
For every wrong is then made right.
So when the long night shuts the eyes,
And like a mother soothes the sighs
With which her tired children weep,
He giveth His beloved sleep"
Nor wrong, nor pain, nor human cries
Shall break the rest so long and deep
What shall the happy waking be
With every sense renewed and Tree:
God gives to His beloved sleep
That they may wake no more to weep.
And with uplifted eyes may see
The great white throne with joy complete.

struggle, taken the letter from the girl Then
he read aloud the words written by his father
thirty years ago:
Il thank you, dear friend, for all you say
about my wife and boy. thank you for re-
minding me of our boyish compact. He will
be ready to fulfill it, know, if he loves those
his father loves. even if you should marry
years later. ] am glad for your sake, for
both our sakes, that it is a boy. Heaven
send you good wife. dear Adams, and a
daughter. to make my son equally happy"
Joe Silsbie looked down, took the half
laughing, half-tearful face in his hands, kissed
her forehead, and, with tears in his grave
eyes, said, "Amenl"
Il
am inclined to think that this sentiment
was echoed heartily by Mrs Rightbody's
former acquaintance, when, year later,
Miss Alice was united to a professional gen
tleman of honor and renown, yet who was
known to be the son Of q convicted horse
thief. A few remembered the previous Cali
fornian story, and found corroboration there
for; but majority believed it just reward
to Miss Alice for her conduct to Mr. Marvin,
and, as Miss Alice cheerfully accepted it in
that light, do not see why may not end
my story with happiness to all concerned.
THE END.

Mrs Rightbody, little alarmed and des-
perate, saw her blunder II mean nothing of
the kind" she said hastily. II only expected
that you might have some further details of
this interview with Silsbie; that perhaps you
could tell me'-a bold, bright thought crossed
Mrs. Rightbody's mind - something more

The two men looked at each other.
Il suppose your society has no objection

Mrs. Rightbody eagerly.

boldness had made her penetration good. Yet
she felt she must not alarm the men heed

"Will you inform me to what extent Mr..
Rightbody, my late husband, was interested
in her!'
This time it seemed an age to Mrs. Right
body before the men returned from their SOL

both hear and feel that their discussion was
more animated than their previous confer
ences She was a little mortified, however,

Quebec. Quebec, as is well known is stu

penetrating into the city. The citadel is
practically impregnable, and even if victory
were ultimately TO perch upon the banners of

disastrous fighting, attended with enormous
expense and great loss Of life, to accomplish
this end.
